But wait, I can... the speaker... in the case, it’s Bryan Paulsen, Technology Architect at John Deere. Bryan is an excellent speaker. If you don’t want to take my word for it, how about the opinion of the a good portion of the DB2 community. Bryan was selected as Best User Speaker at IDUG NA 2004, 2007, and 2009 and Best User Speaker for IDUG Europe in 2007... all that put him into the IDUG Speaker Hall of Fame. What other credentials could you ask for... Oh ya, he always knows what he’s talking about.

Developed for: IT and enterprise architects and managers; application developers and managers; database administrators and managers; system analysts

Technical level: Intermediate – advanced

Big data impacts every industry from finance markets to agriculture and beyond. John Deere, one of the world’s largest suppliers of agricultural machinery and supplies, gathers telematics data from sensors on its machinery while in use in the field. The sheer volume and velocity of this data caused John Deere to redesign one of the applications that manages this information in order to meet business and scalability demands.

Join us for this complimentary webcast as we explore big data from an agricultural perspective. You’ll learn how the John Deere application addressed the challenges of big data using IBM® DB2® for z/OS® within its solution. The session also covers some of the key capabilities of DB2 for z/OS used in the solution such as page size, clustering, partitioning, sequence objects and APPEND. Attendees will also experience John Deere’s application suite of products through two short videos.

Join us after the webcast for a live question-and-answer session. This webcast will also be available for replay after the event.

Well, that's it for now.

And as always, thank you for stopping by and thanks for your continued support

Willie

Welcome to all things DB2 for z/OS. This is your one stop, your only stop, and your final stop to find out all you'll ever want to know about DB2 for z/OS. We'll be discussing how to upgrade to the latest DB2 version, have detailed "how it works" discussions, some performance tips, maintenance alerts, baby updates, with a few guest posts thrown in occasionally. In addition, you'll find all of the latest DB2 news and gossip, arrival notifications of the latest articles, books, seminars, and teleconferences, along with details on all of the major conferences. I'll occasionally be throwing in a post covering our z/OS operating system and our System z hardware. Plus, there will always be something entertaining posted every once in a while. This is the place you'll find just about anything you need to know to stay current with DB2 for z/OS, z/OS, or System z. This is also the place to get that little bit of lite reading each morning to start your day off on the right foot.
